Edison Natural Gas Explosion – Durham Woods

Who’s music is in the end? Sounds amazing!

I would not want to look out my window and see THAT.

Thanks for the footage. I never have and hope to never see flames that big!

@jerseyrufneck That’s one of those fires you’ll never forget fighting!

@airedalegirl99 Only 1 dead at Edison. But, 12 campers were burned to death in New Mexico in 2000 from a gas pipeline that failed near them.

Dude I wish they had technology back then that they do now. This is like the only video of this explosion. If this happened today there would like 300 videos of it.

Isn’t it a bit weird to think that this is just a tine fraction of the raw energy the earth is full off?

looks like the hell is opening up. Thats why people go to church for 2000 years.

damn i was in middle school 8th grade i remember looking out my window and seeing it go up i was just looking out and boom there it went i live close to the quickcheck at that time that was hairy as hell

3 b reading Rd….right in the front and still seemed like forever getting out

55-P ill never forget that day

That’s what a tornado sounds like. They should not build apt buildings next to a 20ft diameter gas line.

I was there I live in talmadge village I was there it was right in front of my house I’m 9 I was I kindergarten it was very scary I was crying because there was 2 cats and
A puppy that was having baby I know because I went there everyday because she had to babysit me then we left and then bomb I heard a noice and a fire was behind us I was thinking it was a cookie monster and it was gonna eat us remember I was in kindergarten

I warned my kids about thier behaviour. “Remember, your behaviour; Daddy’s got his bottle of Calor gas, and he will use it against ya if you fuck him around”

I lived less than 2 miles away in Edison Village apartments and remember this like it was yesterday. It was very scary!

holy sh** that is huge

WOW. We had a big gas line explosion here in Minneapolis. But nothing compared to what you witnessed.

@jl6er It’s Mr. Asshole for you son. Understand?

It’s actually better to let it burn like that. If you put a natural gas fire out, the gas will travel and build up. Any ignition source would spark something more catastrophic than this was.

@forgotagain00 you sir become aN ENGINEER and do that idea of yours

how did it start what was the cause

God Bless all who had survived! Pray for the souls who were lost! All who make jokes about this, go get a life! @LorakelHD Shut up, and quit making jokes! What if you were stuck in this burning explosion? Huh? Go shut up and get a life! For all who died, god bless you and you shall have everlasting eternal life! God Bless all!

… I lived at Durham Woods from March 87 to October 94 … I witnessed this event up-close … my wife looked out the window, saw the flames, and said to me “Are we gonna die?” … scariest thing I have ever experienced!

i would connect water lines to the gas lines in a emerency like this it would flush it out
